Padua, ITALY - Saint Anthony Chapel Altar del Arca

Description: Padua, ITALY - Saint Anthony Chapel Altar del Arca: Padua is a city and commune (municipality) in Veneto, northern Italy, and the capital of the province of Padua. The city lies on the banks of the river Bacchiglione, 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Venice and 29 km (18 miles) southeast of Vicenza, and has a population of 214,000 (as of 2011). The Pontifical Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua (Italian: Basilica Pontificia di Sant'Antonio di Padova) is a Catholic church and minor basilica in Padua, Veneto, Northern Italy, dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. The chapel is situated off the left aisle of the basilica. Today’s chapel is the result of a radical reconstruction that embraced the entire 16th century. Work on the decorative elements ended only in the 17th century, with further contributions and enhancements continuing throughout the 1700s. Most art historians attribute the design to Tullio Lombardo. The work was overseen by the proto Giovanni Minello, assisted by his son Antonio and by other sculptors trained by the Lombardos. The elder Minello directed the works for more than twenty years (1500- 1521) and was succeeded by Giovanni Maria Falconetto, who oversaw the completion of the façade and the magnificent, gilded stucco vault. Its design comes from one of the cartoons created by Raphael’s prolific Roman workshop. This Undivided Back Era (1901-07) postcard is in good condition. R. Stab. Prosperini.
